Arguing whether it is ethical or not to continue as we've been doing is a moot point. There have been "vulture subbers" picking up dropped shows going back to the early 1990s. The scene will not change in any substantial way. The ball is in the industry's court to address this.

Head on the nail, I couldn't have said it better myself. What jfs says about things being fair or not fair does not seem relevant to me; the world is not fair and there's no reason the world's governments (much less individuals such as ourselves) should support a certain industry's obviously faulty business model by artificial means.
